Farmers want California to change its autonomous tractor ban

In some states, autonomous farming equipment is put to work on farms, doing things like spreading fertilizer or getting rid of insects. But in California, these robots aren’t allowed to operate on their own. State safety regulators say operators have to be at the controls, with few exceptions.
